This modern two-bedroom semi-detached house on a larger-than-average corner plot offers an attractive entry point to homeownership in Gilesgate, with no onward chain and flexible shared-ownership options. The open-plan kitchen/dining room and two generous double bedrooms suit first-time buyers or young couples seeking sensible space close to Durham city and local amenities.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for up to four vehicles, an enclosed garden with mature borders and patio, and an EPC rating of B. The property is well-presented with gas central heating, double glazing and a contemporary bathroom. Several garden and interior items are available by separate negotiation, including a wooden garden room, which adds scope for extra use or storage.
Important considerations: the home is sold on a leasehold/shared-ownership basis (111 years remaining) which may involve a rental charge if a part-share purchase is chosen. The area records a very high crime statistic—buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their decision. Accommodation is compact overall (approximately 840 sq ft), so purchasers seeking large family space should note the footprint is modest.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance starter home with useful outdoor space and strong transport and school links. It will suit buyers wanting affordable access to the Durham market who are comfortable with shared-ownership tenure and a city-suburban environment.
